I can’t cope

Pix usually eats the log the second I put it down but she won’t even look at it at the moment. So I have fed her some of Jetts slow cooked that I get which is prime also. She ate some of that for dinner. I have to try and feed her later on tonight to get more food into her. Not eating is making things harder.

I did the sample! The results weren’t good so I rang the emergency vet and talked to her about it. I have to watch Pix closely tonight and re-do the test in the morning and call the vet. Then she will put her in hospital for a little while and recheck everything. Can’t do it overnight as there is no one there to watch her.

Thanks for sharing.

I do understand where you are coming from. It is hard to have lived like that for so long. I like your ‘good’ days and ‘normal’ days. When I say I have had a ‘good’ day it’s usually not a regular persons good day it’s just better than it has been.

Im glad you stuck to your promises. That is an admirable quality to have. But also it gives you something to aim for. A goal as such. Then see how it goes. It’s something that may or may not work but maybe there is a little hope there.

Awww @Captain24 . Sounds like Pix is so so unwell. If she doesn't eat, will a drip help? I really hope she makes a turn around.

When is your next work shift?

Well done on getting the sample @Captain24 ! Hats off to you!

It's encouraging that the blood glucose level is normal though, but confusing about the elevated ketones - but if she isn't eating then it does make sense to be breaking down fats instead for energy. I'm glad you called the vet and to return tomorrow morning if she's still not eating, drinking & abnormal levels. They sound a really good vet 😊.

I'm not an anxious person, but I remember last year when one of my dogs was in a lot of pain and I didn't know why -- I felt awful because I couldn't do anything to take the pain away, and I couldn't communicate to the dog that I cared and that we were getting help (driving to emergency vet & waiting there). It's heartbreaking and worrisome. 💔

I wonder if there are any ways to apetise Pixie into some fluids? something tasty added to it? or 'fun'? 🤔

I'm guessing she won't take kindly to having water syringed into her mouth if she doesn't voluntarily drink? 😅 (I had to do this to a lizard once lol. And I've done it to dogs and animals with medication - they have never liked it though lol)

She is getting to the dangerously unwell zone. I’m actually on hold to a 24 hour vet clinic in Newcastle which is 4 hours away. I have to ask mum to help me to pay if I have to take her there and hope the local vet can call in and give me medication to take her down there. @tyme.

I go to work on Wednesday.

Oh no... @Captain24

I'm worried as I'm sure you are.

Hang in there Pix. You have a lot of people praying for you. Come on brave girl. Hang in there.

Take a big breath @Captain24 . Do you think you need to start heading off?

Hugs.

By the time I get there if I make it it’ll be at least 3 in the morning. @tyme. With having to stop with Pix being sick and driving slowly with the roo’s. It’s too dangerous. Plus extra stress on Pix which in itself is a problem.

Please pray for my little girl.

I’m really not coping..

@Captain24 sitting with you sweetheart, I'm so sorry that Pix is so unwell. Sending prayers, love and hugs to you ❤️

Pix is really unwell. It’s becoming dangerous. @AuntGlow. I haven’t done anything nice for myself it’s all about Pix!

Sitting with you @Captain24 and praying for Pix. You are both so strong. Such a hard decision on what to do, with the emergency vet being so far away and Pix not travelling well in the car. 😖

It was easier than I thought. @AlwaysMyself.

Dad has just dropped a syringe in for me to try that. I have to try and feed her again in a purple of hours. I just tried to give her a tablet but she ran off and hid.

She is making it so hard for me to help her.

It so heartbreaking that they don’t know and understand what we are trying to do.
